    Congratulations! Your fiance seems like a lucky human of unknown gender.

      Thank you. The clue was in the description: a "fiance" is a man while a "fiancee" is a woman.

        I love how that site actually sends you to random news links containing the proper use of the word instead of simple example sentences.

        So, what is a fianceee?

        (I actually didn't know there was a difference between fiance and fiancee, I guess my education is to blame)

          So, what is a fianceee?

          An androgynous person?

          Sometimes I forget people aren't familiar with the same words I am. ;)

            I think having English as a second language will mean quite a few nuances will be lost, like that one. :-)

            And of course, if your bride to be is a gold digger then you're her finance... ;)

            English is an insane language to begin with. Most of its native speakers don't understand it. :/
